Baichwal's "Manufactured Landscapes" at Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist Films has acquired all U.S. rights to Jennifer Baichwal‘s “Manufactured Landscapes,” based on the work of photographer Edward Burtynsky. In the words of an announcement today, “the film takes the viewer primarily to China, where Baichwal examines the rarely witnessed sites of that country’s massive industrial revolution.” The film won the Best Canadian Feature Film Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival and Zeigeist previously released Baichawal’s “Let It Come Down: The Life of Paul Bowles.” The company is planning a Summer 2007 release.
